    Does anybody know of a Hunters Dictionary?

    I have been hunting for quite awhile and have heard a bunch of different terms and names, almost so many I am losing track of what they all mean. Has anyone produced or seen a Hunters Handbook with all the do's and Do not's and all the terrain terms like Fingers, Funnels, Pinch Points?

    Just seems like a new hunter no matter gun or bow would like that.

    Good idea. The problem is even many of the "experts" have no idea what they are talking about when it comes to terrain terminology or how it effects deer movement. My point....you will get many different names for the same terrain feature, and many of the times they will be called the wrong thing even by people who hunt hard for a living.

    Very True, I just feel like there are some universal terms that would help people.
